Discordant Thoughts by Judi Van Gorder

“Time in a bottle” is a phrase racing through my brain for days.

If we could truly capture time and stuff it into hollow glass then mount it in a frame of brass, I think it might just be a crime.

What would now become? Would the moment pass? Why is this just dumb?

all years, months and days winter, spring, summer and fall “time in a bottle”

Enchanting Permitted (Descort)

I can see, hear, and touch you in my heart.I can sense clearly darling, you’re a tart.

Although you’re armed, and pretty by the way,I know you’ve charmed a kitty that protects.He’ll let no beast or human call you preyHe’ll let you play with those that he respects.

I have been charmed, I am disarmed, I’m not alarmed.I can not tell If there’s a spell you’ve cast so wellbut should that be it’s fine with me for then I’ll seethe chosen view as meant by you which I’ll hold true.
